Before the start of any class, our boss saw to it that a brief background about the student will be given. As asserted to me, the student disliked to study English and knew little English words. Another test for my abilities as a teacher has yet waited to be shown.
First day of the class is always a significant part of my teaching career. They say that first impression lasts. But if I were to ask, I negate to believe this popular maxim. First meeting with the student is a crucial stage for me because that is when I think of the proper teaching techniques and strategies to be applied in class.

All the things being described about him was true. He was too quiet to express what's on his mind. I have tried hard to be amiable as possible. I've given all the sweetest smiles I could. My voice was the softest and spoke slowly for him to comprehend what I needed him to. Every time I asked him a question, I patiently waited for his reply anticipating the little English words he knew. And that's not all, I even drew some pictures on the paper of some words he didn't understand. If he still couldn't get through, I made some gestures.
After a few weeks, I was delighted to see his improvement. He was able to smile and made some facial expressions while relating a story about his life. As a remembrance, he gave me a cell phone accessory from Korea and I still carry it until now.
The situation reminded me of one of my best teachers in college. For you to be a good teacher according to him, you must sometimes act as if you're in front of many spectators at a theater.
